I noticed that I tapped a little too softly and it didn't always register. If you need an accurate count then you need to be sure each tap is registered. Physical counters make a tactile click to solve this problem.

Nice! Pretty amazing that ChatGPT can do that. I'd be interested in what prompts you used, and what you had to specify e.g. did you have to tell it to use Tailwind and localStorage, and what font and colors to use? Did it generate the text also?

Criticism: at 3.3 MB it's pretty large for what it does (though most of that is Tailwind, the rest is pretty lean).

Suggestions:

1. move the text to an overlay or a separate page — it's pretty verbose and makes the page cluttered.

2. make the + and - signs in the buttons bigger/bolder (and make the minus sign a true minus instead of a hyphen-minus, so it matches the width of the plus sign).

3. the buttons are off centre because of the reset/delete links, which feels a bit off. Maybe add some equivalent whitespace to the left to re-center them.

4. the privacy page mentions Google Analytics and cookies, but there's no GA on the page and no cookies set.
